Summary

This phase 3, 8-week, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, multi-center study with a 4-week, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal period will evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Tenapanor to treat hyperphosphatemia in end-stage renal disease patients on hemodialysis (ESRD-HD). Subjects who qualify are randomized into the study will either receive 3 mg BID, 10 mg BID, or a titration regimen of tenapanor.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • 18 to 80 years old
  • Females must be non-pregnant, non-lactating, and either be post-menopausal for at least 12 months, have documentation of irreversible surgical sterilization, or confirm the use of one of the acceptable contraceptive methods.
  • Males must agree to avoid fathering a child and agree to use an appropriate method of contraception
  • Chronic maintenance hemodialysis 3x/week for at least 3 months
  • Kt/V ≥ 1.3 at most recent measurement prior to screening
  • Prescribed and taking at least 3 doses of phosphate binder per day
  • Serum phosphate levels should be between 4.0 and 7.0 mg/dL (inclusive) at screening
  • For randomization in the study, after 1 week wash-out of phosphate binders, subjects must have serum phosphate level of at least 9 mg/dL but below 10 mg/dL and have had an increase of at least 1.5 mg/dL versus pre-wash out value
  • For randomization in the study, after 2 or 3 weeks wash-out of phosphate binders, subjects must have serum phosphate level of at least 6 mg/dL but below 10 mg/dL and have had an increase of at least 1.5 mg/dL versus pre-wash out value

Exclusion Criteria

  • Severe hyperphosphatemia defined as >10 mg/dL on Phosphate-binders at any time point during clinical routine monitoring for the 3 preceding months before screening
  • Serum parathyroid hormone >1200 pg/mL
  • Persistent metabolic acidosis defined as serum carbon dioxide <18 mmol/L from two consecutive measurements during screening and washout periods
  • Clinical signs of hypovolemia at randomization
  • History of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or diarrhea predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D)
  • Scheduled for living donor kidney transplant, change to peritoneal dialysis, home HD or plans to relocate to another center during the study period
  • Diarrhea or loose stools during the week before randomization defined as BSFS ≥ 6 and frequency ≥ 3 for 2 or more days
  • Any evidence of or treatment of malignancy within one year, excluding non-melanomatous malignancies of the skin
  • Positive serology with evidence of significant hepatic impairment or WBC elevation according to the Investigator
  • Life expectancy < 6 months
